FIELDThe present invention relates to novel polymorphic salts of 8-fluoro-2-{4-[(methylamino)methyl]phenyl}-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H-azepino[5,4,3-cd]indol-6-one, and to methods for their preparation.

BACKGROUNDThe compound 8-fluoro-2-{4-[(methylamino)methyl]phenyl}-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H-azepino[5,4,3-cd]indol-6-one (“Compound 1”)
is a small molecule inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Compound 1, and methods of making it, are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,495,541; 6,977,298; 7,429,578 and 7,323,562. Certain salts and polymorphs thereof, of Compound 1, are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,268,126 and in International Patent Publication No. WO 04/087713. Other publications describing Compound 1 and uses thereof include U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2006-0074073, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,351,701 and 7,531,530.
PARP is a family of nuclear enzymes responsible for ADP-ribosylation (a post-translational protein modification) in which poly(ADP-ribosyl)transferases transfer the ADP-ribose moiety from NAD+ onto specific amino acid side chains on nuclear target proteins such as histones and DNA repair enzymes and/or onto previously attached ADP-ribose units. In humans the PARP family encompasses 17 enzymes of which PARP-1 is the best-characterized (Otto H, Reche P A, Bazan F et al, In silico characterization of the family of PARP-like poly(ADP-ribosyl)transferases (pARTs), BMC Genomics 2005; 6:139). Pharmacology studies have shown that Compound 1 is an inhibitor of PARP-1 (Ki=1.4 nM) and PARP-2 (Ki=0.17 nM).
PARP-1 is involved in DNA homeostasis through binding to DNA breaks and attracting DNA repair proteins to the site of DNA damage. PARP-1 through the addition of ADP-ribose units on target proteins provides the energetic resources necessary for chromatin relaxation and the DNA repair process. These actions promote and facilitate DNA repair. Depending on the extent of DNA damage PARP-1 activation and subsequent poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation mediate the repair of damaged DNA or induce cell death. When DNA damage is moderate, PARP-1 plays a significant role in the DNA repair process. Conversely, in the event of massive DNA damage, excessive activation of PARP-1 depletes the cellular ATP pool, which ultimately leads to cell mortality by necrosis (Tentori L, Portarena I, Graziani G, Potential applications of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, Pharmacol Res 2002; 45:73-85).
In cancer therapy, many useful drugs as well as ionizing radiation exert their therapeutic effect through DNA damage. Enzyme-meditated repair of single- or double-strand DNA breaks is a potential mechanism of resistance to radiotherapy or cytotoxic drugs whose mechanism of action depends on DNA damage. Inhibition of DNA repair pathway enzymes is thus a strategy for the potentiation of anticancer agents. Inhibition of PARP-1 has shown to potentiate the activity of DNA-damaging agents and ionizing radiation in vivo and in vitro. Accordingly, PARP has been identified as a therapeutic target for cancer therapy in combination with DNA damaging agents. (Tentori L, Leonetti C, Scarsella M, et al, Systemic administration of GPA 15427, a novel poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 inhibitor, increases the antitumor activity of temozolomide against intracranial melanoma, glioma, lymphoma, Clin Cancer Res 2003; 9:5370-9. Satoh M S, Poirier G G, Lindahl T, NAD(+)-dependent repair of damaged DNA by human cell extracts, J Biol Chem 1993; 268:5480-7.)
In addition to the potential role as chemopotentiator or radiosensitizer agents, more recent evidence has emerged of sensitivity of cell lines, homozygous for either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, to a PARP inhibitor alone. (Bryant H E, Schultz N, Thomas H D, et al, Specific killing of BRCA-2 deficient tumors with inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, Nature 2005; 434:913-7. Farmer H, McCabe N, Lord C J, et al, Targeting the DNA repair defect in BRCA mutant cells as a therapeutic strategy, Nature 2005; 434:917-21.) Preliminary clinical data from a Phase I study with a single-agent PARP inhibitor has recently been published (Yap T A, Boss D S, Fong M, et al, First in human phase I pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) study of KU-0059436 (Ku), a small molecule inhibitor of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) in cancer patients (p) including BRCA 1/2 mutation carriers, (J Clin Oncol 2007; 25 (Supplement June 20):3529).
It is desirable to have crystalline salts and polymorphic forms thereof that possess properties amenable to reliable formulation and manufacture.

DefinitionsAs used herein, the term “Compound 1” refers to the chemical compound 8-fluoro-2-{4-[(methylamino)methyl]phenyl}-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H-azepino[5,4,3-cd]indol-6-one, also represented by the structural formula:
The term “active agent” or “active ingredient” refers to a polymorphic form of Compound 1, or to a solid form that comprises two or more polymorphic forms or amorphous form of Compound 1.
As used herein, the term “substantially pure” with reference to a particular polymorphic form (or to a mixture of two or more polymorphic forms) of Compound 1 indicates the polymorphic form (or a mixture) includes less than 10%, preferably less than 5%, preferably less than 3%, preferably less than 1% by weight of impurities, including other polymorphic forms of Compound 1. Such purity may be determined, for example, by powder X-ray diffraction.
As used herein, the term “polymorph” refers to different crystalline forms of the same compound and other solid state molecular forms including pseudo-polymorphs, such as hydrates (e.g., bound water present in the crystalline structure) and solvates (e.g., bound solvents other than water) of the same compound. Different crystalline polymorphs have different crystal structures due to a different packing of the molecules in the lattice. This results in a different crystal symmetry and/or unit cell parameters which directly influences its physical properties such the X-ray diffraction characteristics of crystals or powders. A different polymorph, for example, will in general diffract at a different set of angles and will give different values for the intensities. Therefore X-ray powder diffraction can be used to identify different polymorphs, or a solid form that comprises more than one polymorph, in a reproducible and reliable way (S. Byrn et al, Pharmaceutical Solids: A Strategic Approach to Regulatory Considerations, Pharmaceutical research, Vol. 12, No. 7, p. 945-954, 1995; J. K. Haleblian and W. McCrone, Pharmaceutical Applications of Polymorphism, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Vol. 58, No. 8, p. 911-929, 1969). Crystalline polymorphic forms are of interest to the pharmaceutical industry and especially to those involved in the development of suitable dosage forms. If the polymorphic form is not held constant during clinical or stability studies, the exact dosage form used or studied may not be comparable from one lot to another. It is also desirable to have processes for producing a compound with the selected polymorphic form in high purity when the compound is used in clinical studies or commercial products since impurities present may produce undesired toxicological effects. Certain polymorphic forms may exhibit enhanced thermodynamic stability or may be more readily manufactured in high purity in large quantities, and thus are more suitable for inclusion in pharmaceutical formulations. Certain polymorphs may display other advantageous physical properties such as lack of hygroscopic tendencies, improved solubility, and enhanced rates of dissolution due to different lattice energies.
The term “powder X-ray diffraction pattern” or “PXRD pattern” refers to the experimentally observed diffractogram or parameters derived therefrom. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns are typically characterized by peak position (abscissa) and peak intensities (ordinate). The term “peak intensities” refers to relative signal intensities within a given X-ray diffraction pattern. Factors which can affect the relative peak intensities are sample thickness and preferred orientation (i.e., the crystalline particles are not distributed randomly). The term “peak positions” as used herein refers to X-ray reflection positions as measured and observed in powder X-ray diffraction experiments. Peak positions are directly related to the dimensions of the unit cell. The peaks, identified by their respective peak positions, have been extracted from the diffraction patterns for the various polymorphic forms of salts of Compound 1.
The term “2 theta value” or “2θ” refers to the peak position in degrees based on the experimental setup of the X-ray diffraction experiment and is a common abscissa unit in diffraction patterns. In general, the experimental setup requires that if a reflection is diffracted when the incoming beam forms an angle theta (θ) with a certain lattice plane, the reflected beam is recorded at an angle 2 theta (2θ). It should be understood that reference herein to specific 2θ values for a specific polymorphic form is intended to mean the 2θ values (in degrees) as measured using the X-ray diffraction experimental conditions as described herein.
The term “amorphous” refers to any solid substance which (i) lacks order in three dimensions, or (ii) exhibits order in less than three dimensions, order only over short distances (e.g., less than 10 Å), or both. Thus, amorphous substances include partially crystalline materials and crystalline mesophases with, e.g. one- or two-dimensional translational order (liquid crystals), orientational disorder (orientationally disordered crystals), or conformational disorder (conformationally disordered crystals). Amorphous solids may be characterized by known techniques, including powder X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) crystallography, solid state nuclear magnet resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), or some combination of these techniques. Amorphous solids give diffuse PXRD patterns, typically comprised of one or two broad peaks (i.e., peaks having base widths of about 5° 2θ or greater).
The term “crystalline” refers to any solid substance exhibiting three-dimensional order, which in contrast to an amorphous solid substance, gives a distinctive PXRD pattern with sharply defined peaks.
The term “ambient temperature” refers to a temperature condition typically encountered in a laboratory setting. This includes the approximate temperature range of about 20 to about 30° C.
The term “detectable amount” refers to an amount or amount per unit volume that can be detected using conventional techniques, such as X-ray powder diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, HPLC, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, and the like.
The term “solvate” describes a molecular complex comprising the drug substance and a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of one or more solvent molecules (e.g., ethanol). When the solvent is tightly bound to the drug the resulting complex will have a well-defined stoichiometry that is independent of humidity. When, however, the solvent is weakly bound, as in channel solvates and hygroscopic compounds, the solvent content will be dependent on humidity and drying conditions. In such cases, the complex will often be non-stoichiometric.
The term “hydrate” describes a solvate comprising the drug substance and a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of water.
The term “relative humidity” refers to the ratio of the amount of water vapor in air at a given temperature to the maximum amount of water vapor that can be held at that temperature and pressure, expressed as a percentage.
The term “relative intensity” refers to an intensity value derived from a sample X-ray diffraction pattern. The complete ordinate range scale for a diffraction pattern is assigned a value of 100. A peak having intensity falling between about 50% to about 100% on this scale intensity is termed very strong (vs); a peak having intensity falling between about 50% to about 25% is termed strong (s). Additional weaker peaks are present in typical diffraction patterns and are also characteristic of a given polymorph.
The term “slurry” refers to a solid substance suspended in a liquid medium, typically water or an organic solvent.
The term “under vacuum” refers to typical pressures obtainable by a laboratory oil or oil-free diaphragm vacuum pump.
The term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a composition comprising one or more of the polymorphic forms of salts of Compound 1 described herein, and other chemical components, such as physiologically/pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, vehicles and/or excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration of a compound to an organism, such as a human or other mammal.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” “carrier”, “diluent”, “vehicle”, or “excipient” refers to a material (or materials) that may be included with a particular pharmaceutical agent to form a pharmaceutical composition, and may be solid or liquid. Exemplary solid carriers are lactose, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, stearic acid and the like. Exemplary liquid carriers are syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, water and the like. Similarly, the carrier or diluent may include time-delay or time-release material known in the art, such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax, ethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, methylmethacrylate and the like.
The term “mediated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity” refers to biological or molecular processes that are regulated, modulated, or inhibited by PARP activity. For certain applications, inhibition of PARP activity associated with cancer is preferred. Embodiments disclosed herein include methods of modulating or inhibiting PARP activity, for example in mammals, by administering polymorphic salt forms of Compound 1, or a solid form that comprises two or more polymorphic salt forms of Compound 1. The activity or efficacy of polymorphic salt forms of Compound 1, or a solid form that comprises two or more such forms, may be measured as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,495,541 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2006-0074073, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The term “treating”, as used herein, unless otherwise indicated, means reversing, alleviating, inhibiting the progress of, or preventing the disorder or condition to which such term applies, or one or more symptoms of such disorder or condition. The term “treatment”, as used herein, unless otherwise indicated, refers to the act of “treating” as defined immediately above. For example, the terms “treat”, “treating” and “treatment” can refer to a method of alleviating or abrogating a hyperproliferative disorder (e.g., cancer) and/or one or more of its attendant symptoms. With regard particularly to cancer, these terms can indicate that the life expectancy of an individual affected with a cancer will be increased or that one or more of the symptoms of the disease will be reduced.
An “effective amount” refers to the amount of an agent that significantly inhibits proliferation and/or prevents de-differentiation of a eukaryotic cell, e.g., a mammalian, insect, plant or fungal cell, and is effective for the indicated utility, e.g., specific therapeutic treatment.
The term “therapeutically effective amount” refers to that amount of the compound or polymorph being administered which can relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of the disorder being treated. In reference to the treatment of cancer, a therapeutically effective amount refers to that amount which, for example, has at least one of the following effects:
-
- (1) reducing the size of the tumor;
- (2) inhibiting (that is, slowing to some extent, preferably stopping) tumor metastasis;
- (3) inhibiting to some extent (that is, slowing to some extent, preferably stopping) tumor growth, and
- (4) relieving to some extent (or, preferably, eliminating) one or more symptoms associated with the cancer.
Several unique physical forms of Compound 1 have now been made. Compound 1, and methods of making it, are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,495,541; 6,977,298; 7,429,578 and 7,323,562, which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties. Certain salts and polymorphs thereof, of Compound 1, are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,268,126 and in International Patent Publication No. WO 04/087713, which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.
It has been found, as described herein, that Compound 1 can exist in multiple crystalline salt forms, such as maleate salt forms and camsylate salt forms. These forms may be used in a formulated product for the treatment of a mammalian disease condition mediated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity, including cancer. Each form may have advantages over the others in terms of properties such as bioavailability, stability, and manufacturability. Novel crystalline salt forms of Compound 1 have been discovered which are likely to be more suitable for bulk preparation and handling than other forms. For example, the phosphate salt of Compound 1, while particularly suitable, for example, for intravenous dosage forms, may be less suitable for a solid dosage form due to its susceptibility to hydration. Maleate and camsylate salt forms described herein (e.g., maleate polymorph Form B and S-camsylate polymorph Form A) exist as physically stable forms and are not susceptible to hydration as compared to other salt forms of Compound 1, making them particularly suitable in the preparation of solid dosage forms. In addition, maleate and camsylate salts described herein can be isolated in fewer steps than other salt forms in the synthetic process, allowing greater scope to control the crystallization. A controlled crystallization can be used, for example, to provide API particles with properties that are advantageous to a solid dosage form, such as controlled particle size, crystallinity and crystal shape. Also described herein are processes for the preparation of each polymorphic salt form of Compound 1, substantially free from other polymorphic forms of Compound 1. Additionally, described herein are pharmaceutical formulations comprising crystalline salts of Compound 1 in different polymorphic forms, and methods of treating hyperproliferative conditions by administering such pharmaceutical formulations. Additionally, described herein are pharmaceutical formulations comprising crystalline salts of Compound 1 in different polymorphic forms, and methods of treating a mammalian disease condition (e.g., cancer) mediated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity by administering such pharmaceutical formulations.
I. Crystalline Salt Forms of Compound 1Several crystalline forms of Compound 1 are described herein. Each crystalline salt form of Compound 1 can be characterized by one or more of the following: powder X-ray diffraction pattern (e.g., X-ray diffraction peaks at various diffraction angles (2θ)); solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral pattern; melting point onset (and onset of dehydration for hydrated forms) as illustrated by endotherms of a Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermogram; hygroscopic properties as illustrated by Dynamic Vapor Sorption measurements; FT-IR spectral diagram pattern; Raman spectral diagram pattern; aqueous solubility; light stability under International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) high intensity light conditions, and physical and chemical storage stability according to methods known in the art or described herein. For example, maleate polymorph Form A, maleate polymorph Form B, S-camsylate polymorph Form A, and S-camsylate polymorph Form B and of Compound 1 were each characterized by the positions and relative intensities of peaks in their powder X-ray diffraction patterns. The powder X-ray diffraction parameters differ for each of the polymorphic forms of Compound 1. For example, maleate polymorph Form A, maleate polymorph Form B, S-camsylate polymorph Form A, and S-camsylate polymorph Form B of Compound 1 can therefore be distinguished from each other and from other polymorphic forms of Compound 1 by using powder X-ray diffraction.
Powder X-ray diffraction patterns of the different polymorphic forms (e.g., maleate polymorph Form A, maleate polymorph Form B, S-camsylate polymorph Form A, and S-camsylate polymorph Form B) of Compound 1 were determined according to procedures described in Examples 6-8 using CuKα radiation at 1.5406 Å. The peaks for the PXRD patterns obtained for Maleate polymorph Form A, Maleate polymorph Form B, S-camsylate polymorph Form A, and S-camsylate polymorph Form B were selected using Bruker-AXS Ltd. Evaluation software with a threshold of 1 and a peak width of 0.3° 2-theta. With the exception of S-camsylate polymorph Form B, the data were collected at 21° C.
To perform an X-ray diffraction measurement on a Bragg-Brentano instrument like the Bruker system used for measurements reported herein, the sample is typically placed into a holder which has a cavity. The sample powder is pressed by a glass slide or equivalent to ensure a random surface and proper sample height. The sample holder is then placed into the instrument. The incident X-ray beam is directed at the sample, initially at a small angle relative to the plane of the holder, and then moved through an arc that continuously increases the angle between the incident beam and the plane of the holder. Measurement differences associated with such X-ray powder analyses can result from a variety of factors including: (a) errors in sample preparation (e.g., sample height); (b) instrument errors (e.g., flat sample errors); (c) calibration errors; (d) operator errors (including those errors present when determining the peak locations); and (e) the nature of the material (e.g., preferred orientation and transparency errors). Calibration errors and sample height errors often result in a shift of all the peaks in the same direction. Small differences in sample height when using a flat holder will lead to large displacements in PXRD peak positions. A systematic study showed that, using a Shimadzu XRD-6000 in the typical Bragg-Brentano configuration, sample height difference of 1 mm led to peak shifts as high as 1 degree (2θ)□ (Chen et al., J Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis 26:63 (2001)). These shifts can be identified from the X-ray diffractogram and can be eliminated by compensating for the shift (applying a systematic correction factor to all peak position values) or recalibrating the instrument. It is possible to rectify measurements from the various machines by applying a systematic correction factor to bring the peak positions into agreement. In general, this correction factor will bring the measured peak positions from the Bruker into agreement with the expected peak positions and may be in the range of 0 to 0.2 degrees (2θ)□.
One of skill in the art will appreciate that the peak positions (2θ) will show some variability, typically as much as 0.1 to 0.2 degrees (2θ□), depending, for example, on the solvents being used and/or on the apparatus being used to measure the diffraction. Accordingly, where peak positions (2θ) are reported, one of skill in the art will recognize that such numbers are intended to encompass such variability. Furthermore, where the polymorphs of the present invention are described as having a powder X-ray diffraction pattern essentially the same as that shown in a given figure, the term “essentially the same” is also intended to encompass such variability in diffraction peak positions. Further, one skilled in the art will appreciate that relative peak intensities will show inter-apparatus variability as well as variability due to the degree of crystallinity, preferred orientation, prepared sample surface, the degree of purity of the sample being analyzed, and other factors known to those skilled in the art, and should be taken as qualitative measures only. The skilled person will also appreciate that measurements using a different wavelength will result in different shifts according to the Bragg equation—nλ=2d sin θ. Such further PXRD patterns generated by use of alternative wavelengths are considered to be alternative representations of the PXRD patterns of the crystalline materials of embodiments described herein and as such are within the scope of the present embodiments.
The different polymorphs described herein can also be characterized using solid state NMR spectroscopy according to methods known in the art or described herein. For example, 13C solid state spectra and 19F solid state spectra can be collected according to the procedures described in Examples 9-10. It should be noted that 13C or 19F chemical shifts measured in solid state NMR will typically have a variability of up to 0.2 ppm for well defined peaks, and even larger for broad lines.
Different crystalline salt forms of Compound 1 were also distinguished using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to the procedures described in the Examples. DSC measures the difference in heat energy uptake between a sample and an appropriate reference with increase in temperature. For example, for the measurement of a solid powder sample, the reference can be an empty sample pan of the type used in preparation of the sample. DSC thermograms can be characterized by endotherms (indicating energy uptake) and also by exotherms (indicating energy release), typically as the sample is heated. Depending on several factors, the endotherms exhibited may vary by about 0.01-5° C. for crystal polymorphs melting above or below the endotherms, such as those depicted in the appended figures. Factors responsible for such variance include, for example, the rate of heating (e.g., the scan rate) at which the DSC analysis is conducted, the way the DSC onset temperature is defined and determined, the calibration standard used, instrument calibration, the relative humidity and the chemical purity of the sample. For any given sample, the observed endotherms may also differ from instrument to instrument; however, it will generally be within the ranges described herein provided the instruments are calibrated similarly.
Different polymorphic forms of a compound may have different hygroscopic properties. For example, salts of Compound 1 were characterized based on their hygroscopic properties using dynamic vapor sorption measurements according to procedures described in Example 12.
In some embodiments, the solid forms may also comprise more than one polymorphic form. One of skill in the art will also recognize that crystalline forms of a given compound can exist in substantially pure forms of a single polymorph, but can also exist in a crystalline form that comprises a mixture of two or more different polymorphs or amorphous forms. Where a solid form comprises two or more polymorphs, the X-ray diffraction pattern will typically have peaks characteristic of each of the individual polymorphs. For example, a solid form that comprises two polymorphs will typically have a powder X-ray diffraction pattern that is a convolution of the two X-ray diffraction patterns that correspond to the substantially pure polymorphic forms. For example, a solid form of Compound 1 or a salt thereof can contain a first and second polymorphic form where the solid form contains at least 10% by weight of the first polymorph. In a further example, the solid form can contain at least 20% by weight of the first polymorph. Even further examples contain at least 30%, at least 40%, or at least 50% by weight of the first polymorph. One of skill in the art will recognize that many such combinations of several individual polymorphs and amorphous forms in varying amounts are possible.

The active agents (e.g., the crystalline salt forms or solid forms comprising two or more such forms, of Compound 1) described herein may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions suitable for mammalian medical use. Any suitable route of administration may be employed for providing a patient with an effective dosage of any of the polymorphic forms of Compound 1. For example, peroral or parenteral formulations and the like may be employed. Dosage forms include capsules, tablets, dispersions, suspensions and the like, e.g. enteric-coated capsules and/or tablets, capsules and/or tablets containing enteric-coated pellets of Compound 1. In all dosage forms, polymorphic forms of Compound 1 can be admixtured with other suitable constituents. The compositions may be conveniently presented in unit dosage forms, and prepared by any methods known in the pharmaceutical arts. Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention typically include a therapeutically effective amount of the active agent and one or more inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and optionally any other therapeutic ingredients, stabilizers, or the like. The carrier(s) are typically pharmaceutically acceptable in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not unduly deleterious to the recipient thereof. The compositions may further include diluents, buffers, binders, disintegrants, thickeners, lubricants, preservatives (including antioxidants), flavoring agents, taste-masking agents, inorganic salts (e.g., sodium chloride), antimicrobial agents (e.g., benzalkonium chloride), sweeteners, antistatic agents, surfactants (e.g., polysorbates such as “TWEEN 20” and “TWEEN 80”, and pluronics such as F68 and F88, available from BASF), sorbitan esters, lipids (e.g., phospholipids such as lecithin and other phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines, fatty acids and fatty esters, steroids (e.g., cholesterol)), and chelating agents (e.g., EDTA, zinc and other such suitable cations). Other pharmaceutical excipients and/or additives suitable for use in the compositions according to the invention are listed in Remington: The Science & Practice of Pharmacy, 19th ed., Williams & Williams, (1995), and in the “Physician's Desk Reference”, 52nd ed., Medical Economics, Montvale, N.J. (1998), and in Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 3rd. Ed., Ed. A.H. Kibbe, Pharmaceutical Press, 2000. The active agents of the invention may be formulated in compositions including those suitable for oral, rectal, topical, nasal, ophthalmic, or parenteral (including intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, or intramuscular injection) administration.
The amount of the active agent in the formulation can vary depending upon a variety of factors, including dosage form, the condition to be treated, target patient population, and other considerations, and will generally be readily determined by one skilled in the art. A therapeutically effective amount will typically be an amount necessary to modulate, regulate, or inhibit a PARP enzyme. In practice, this can vary widely depending, for example, upon the particular active agent, the severity of the condition to be treated, the patient population, the stability of the formulation, and the like. Compositions will generally contain anywhere from about 0.001% by weight to about 99% by weight active agent, preferably from about 0.01% to about 5% by weight active agent, and more preferably from about 0.01% to 2% by weight active agent, and can also depend upon the relative amounts of excipients/additives contained in the composition.
In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition can be administered in conventional dosage form prepared by combining a therapeutically effective amount of an active agent as an active ingredient with one or more appropriate pharmaceutical carriers according to conventional procedures. These procedures may involve mixing, granulating and compressing or dissolving the ingredients as appropriate to the desired preparation.
The pharmaceutical carrier(s) employed may be either solid or liquid. Exemplary solid carriers include, but are not limited to, lactose, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, stearic acid and the like. Exemplary liquid carriers include syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, water and the like. Similarly, the carrier(s) may include time-delay or time-release materials known in the art, such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax, ethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, methylmethacrylate and the like.
A variety of pharmaceutical forms can be employed. For example, if a solid carrier is used, the preparation can be tableted, placed in a hard gelatin capsule in powder or pellet form or in the form of a troche or lozenge. The amount of solid carrier may vary, but generally will be from about 25 mg to about 1 g. If a liquid carrier is used, the preparation can be in the form of syrup, emulsion, soft gelatin capsule, sterile injectable solution or suspension in an ampoule or vial or non-aqueous liquid suspension.
To obtain a stable water-soluble dose form, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of an active agent can be dissolved in an aqueous solution of an organic or inorganic acid, such as 0.3 M solution of succinic acid or citric acid. If a soluble salt form is not available, the active agent may be dissolved in a suitable co-solvent or combinations of co-solvents. Examples of suitable co-solvents include, but are not limited to, alcohol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol 300, polysorbate 80, glycerin and the like in concentrations ranging from about 0 to about 60% of the total volume. The composition may also be in the form of a solution of a salt form of the active agent in an appropriate aqueous vehicle such as water or isotonic saline or dextrose solution.
It will be appreciated that the actual dosages of Compound 1 used in the compositions of this invention can vary according to the particular polymorphic form being used, the particular composition formulated, the mode of administration and the particular site, host and disease being treated. Those skilled in the art using conventional dosage-determination tests in view of the experimental data for an agent can ascertain optimal dosages for a given set of conditions. For oral administration, an exemplary daily dose generally employed is from about 0.001 to about 1000 mg/kg of body weight, more preferably from about 0.001 to about 50 mg/kg body weight, and courses of treatment can be repeated at appropriate intervals. Administration of prodrugs is typically dosed at weight levels that are chemically equivalent to the weight levels of the fully active form. In the practice of the invention, the most suitable route of administration as well as the magnitude of a therapeutic dose will depend on the nature and severity of the disease to be treated. The dose, and dose frequency, may also vary according to the age, body weight, and response of the individual patient. In general, a suitable oral dosage form may cover a dose range from 0.5 mg to 100 mg of active ingredient total daily dose, administered in one single dose or equally divided doses. A preferred amount of Compound 1 in such formulations is from about 0.5 mg to about 20 mg, such as from about 1 mg to about 10 mg or from about 1 mg to about 5 mg.
The compositions of the invention may be manufactured in manners generally known for preparing pharmaceutical compositions, e.g., using conventional techniques such as mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or lyophilizing. Pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers, which may be selected from excipients and auxiliaries that facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations that can be used pharmaceutically.
For oral administration, a polymorphic form of Compound 1 can be formulated readily by combining the active agent with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers known in the art. Such carriers enable the compounds of the invention to be formulated as tablets, pills, dragees, capsules, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient to be treated. Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained using a solid excipient in admixture with the active agent, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients include: fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol; and cellulose preparations, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, disintegrating agents may be added, such as crosslinked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof such as sodium alginate.
Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, Carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active agents.
Pharmaceutical preparations that can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with fillers such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate, and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active agents may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers may be added. All formulations for oral administration should be in dosages suitable for such administration. For buccal administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets or lozenges formulated in conventional manner.
For administration intranasally or by inhalation, the compounds can be conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from pressurized packs or a nebuliser, with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator and the like may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.
The active agents may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit-dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents.
Pharmaceutical formulations for parenteral administration include, for example, suspensions of the active agents and may be prepared as appropriate oily injection suspensions. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances that increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents that increase the solubility of the active agents to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.
For administration to the eye, the active agent can be delivered in a pharmaceutically acceptable ophthalmic vehicle such that the compound is maintained in contact with the ocular surface for a sufficient time period to allow the compound to penetrate the corneal and internal regions of the eye, including, for example, the anterior chamber, posterior chamber, vitreous body, aqueous humor, vitreous humor, cornea, iris/cilary, lens, choroid/retina and selera. The pharmaceutically acceptable ophthalmic vehicle may be, for example, an ointment, vegetable oil, or an encapsulating material. An active agent of the invention may also be injected directly into the vitreous and aqueous humor or subtenon.
Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water, before use. The compounds may also be formulated in rectal or vaginal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g., containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
In addition to the formulations described above, the polymorphic forms may also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long-acting formulations may be administered by implantation (for example, subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, the polymorphic forms may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example, as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion-exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt.
Additionally, polymorphic forms of Compound 1 may be delivered using a sustained-release system, such as semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the therapeutic agent. Various sustained-release materials have been established and are known by those skilled in the art. Sustained-release capsules may, depending on their chemical nature, release the compound for a few weeks up to over 100 days.
The pharmaceutical compositions also may comprise suitable solid- or gel-phase carriers or excipients. Examples of such carriers or excipients include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, sugars, starches, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, and polymers such as polyethylene glycols.
IV. Methods of Using the Polymorphs of the InventionPolymorphic forms of the crystalline salts of Compound 1 can be useful for mediating the activity of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). More particularly, these polymorphic forms can be useful as chemosensitizers that enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy or cytotoxic drugs whose mechanism depends on DNA damage. These drugs include, but are not limited to, temozolomide (SCHERING), irinotecan (PFIZER), topotecan (GLAXO SMITHKLINE), cisplatin (BRISTOL MEYERS SQUIBB; AM PHARM PARTNERS; BEDFORD; GENSIA SICOR PHARMS; PHARMACHEMIE), and doxorubicin hydrochloride (AM PHARM PARTNERS; BEDFORD; GENSIA; SICOR PHARMS; PHARMACHEMIE; ADRIA; ALZA).
Polymorphic salt forms of Compound 1 can also be useful for enhancing the induction of the expression of Reg gene in β cells and HGF gene and, accordingly, promoting the proliferation of pancreatic β-cells of Langerhans' islets and suppressing apoptosis of the cells. Further, the inventive polymorphic salt forms of Compound 1 can be useful for preparing cosmetics, for example, in after-sun lotions.
Therapeutically effective amounts of the agents of the invention may be administered, typically in the form of a pharmaceutical composition, to treat diseases mediated by modulation or regulation of PARP. An “effective amount” refers to that amount of an agent that, when administered to a mammal, including a human, in need of such treatment, is sufficient to effect treatment for a disease mediated by the activity of one or more PARP enzyme. Thus, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound refers to a quantity sufficient to modulate, regulate, or inhibit the activity of one or more PARP enzyme such that a disease condition that is mediated by that activity is reduced or alleviated. The effective amount of a given compound can vary depending upon factors such as the disease condition and its severity and the identity and condition (e.g., weight) of the mammal in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art. “Treating” refers to at least the mitigation of a disease condition in a mammal, including a human, that is affected, at least in part, by the activity of one or more PARP enzymes and includes: preventing the disease condition from occurring in a mammal, particularly when the mammal is found to be predisposed to having the disease condition but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; modulating and/or inhibiting the disease condition; and/or alleviating the disease condition. Exemplary disease conditions include diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and abnormal cell growth, such as cancer. Cancer includes, but is not limited to, mesothelioma, hepatobilliary (hepatic and billiary duct), a primary or secondary CNS tumor, a primary or secondary brain tumor, lung cancer (NSCLC and SCLC), bone cancer, pancreatic cancer, skin cancer, cancer of the head or neck, cutaneous or intraocular melanoma, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, cancer of the anal region, stomach cancer, gastrointestinal (gastric, colorectal, and duodenal), breast cancer, uterine cancer, carcinoma of the fallopian tubes, carcinoma of the endometrium, carcinoma of the cervix, carcinoma of the vagina, carcinoma of the vulva, Hodgkin's Disease, cancer of the esophagus, cancer of the small intestine, cancer of the endocrine system, cancer of the thyroid gland, cancer of the parathyroid gland, cancer of the adrenal gland, sarcoma of soft tissue, cancer of the urethra, cancer of the penis, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, chronic or acute leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, lymphocytic lymphomas, cancer of the bladder, cancer of the kidney or ureter, renal cell carcinoma, carcinoma of the renal pelvis, neoplasms of the central nervous system (CNS), primary CNS lymphoma, non hodgkins's lymphoma, spinal axis tumors, brain stem glioma, pituitary adenoma, adrenocortical cancer, gall bladder cancer, multiple myeloma, cholangiocarcinoma, fibrosarcoma, neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, or a combination of one or more of the foregoing cancers.
Abnormal cell growth also includes, but is not limited to, benign proliferative diseases, including, but not limited to, psoriasis, benign prostatic hypertrophy or restinosis.
The activity of the polymorphic salt forms of Compound 1 as modulators of PARP activity may be measured by any of the methods available to those skilled in the art, including in vivo and/or in vitro assays. Examples of suitable assays for activity measurements include those described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,495,541 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/612,458, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
Some embodiments are also directed to therapeutic methods of treating a disease condition mediated by PARP activity, for example, cancer and a variety of disease and toxic states that involve oxidative or nitric oxide induced stress and subsequent PARP hyperactivation. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, neurologic and neurodegenerative disorders (eg, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease), cardiovascular disorders (e.g., myocardial infarction, ischemia-reperfusion injury), diabetic vascular dysfunction, cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. In some embodiments, the therapeutic methods include administering to a mammal in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition which includes any of the polymorphic forms, or pharmaceutical compositions discussed herein.
Some embodiments are also directed to combination therapeutic methods of treating a disease condition mediated by PARP activity, which comprises administering to a mammal in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition which comprises any of the polymorphic forms, or pharmaceutical compositions discussed herein, in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of one or more substances, such as anti-tumor agents, anti-angiogenesis agents, signal transduction inhibitors, and antiproliferative agents, mitotic inhibitors, alkylating agents, anti-metabolites, intercalating antibiotics, growth factor inhibitors, cell cycle inhibitors, enzymes, topoisomerase inhibitors, biological response modifiers, antibodies, cytotoxics, anti-hormones, and anti-androgens. Such substances include, but are not limited to, those disclosed in PCT Publication Nos.

EXAMPLESThe examples which follow will further illustrate the preparation and characterization of the distinct polymorphic salt forms of Compound 1, but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention as described herein or as claimed herein. Unless otherwise indicated, all temperatures are set forth in degrees Celsius and all parts and percentages are by weight.
Example 1: Preparation of a Maleate Salt of Compound 1, Maleate Polymorph Form AA solution of Compound 1 (100.8 mg; 0.31 mmol) in 80/20 v/v isopropyl alcohol/water (25 mL) was prepared by dissolving the solid in the liquid medium with stirring at ambient conditions (20-25° C.). A solution of maleic acid (25.13 mg; 0.22 mmol) in a minimum volume of 80/20 v/v isopropyl alcohol/water was prepared as above. 17.26 mL of the solution of Compound 1 was added slowly to the maleic acid solution with stirring at ambient conditions to provide an equimolar solution of Compound 1 and maleic acid. The resulting solution was allowed to stir for 24 hours at ambient conditions, followed by the addition of hexane (6 mL) and storage at −20° C. for 24 hours; crystallization occurred during that time. Following filtration and washing with 80/20 v/v isopropyl alcohol/water, the product was dried under vacuum at 40° C. which provided approximately 100 mg of crystalline material.
Example 2: Preparation of a Maleate Salt of Compound 1, Maleate Polymorph Form B, Using EthanolA solution of Compound 1 (10 g; 30.9 mmol) in ethanol (450 mL) was prepared by heating to reflux in a jacketed reaction vessel with overhead stirring. A solution of maleic acid (3.95 g, 1.1 eq) in ethanol (20 mL) was added dropwise over 1 hour at 80° C., crystallization occurred during this time. The suspension was cooled at 0.5° C./min and isolated at 0° C. after 1 hour granulation. Following filtration and washing with ethanol (50 mL), the product was dried under vacuum at 50° C. to furnish 12 g of the crystalline product (89%) theoretical yield).
Example 3: Preparation of a Maleate Salt of Compound 1, Maleate Polymorph Form B, Using Isopropyl AlcoholA solution of Compound 1 (18 g; 55.7 mmol) in isopropyl alcohol (1500 mL) was prepared by heating in a jacketed reaction vessel with overhead stirring. A solution of maleic acid (7.11 g, 1.1 eq) in isopropyl alcohol (100 mL) was prepared and was added dropwise (over 1 hour) following the addition of seed crystals of the title compound (45 mg). Once the addition was complete, the suspension was cooled to 0° C. (at natural rate) and granulated for 2 days. Following filtration the product was dried under vacuum at 50° C. to furnish 23.7 g of a crystalline product (97%) theoretical yield).
Example 4: Preparation of an S-Camsylate Salt of Compound 1, S-Camsylate Polymorph Form A, Using TetrahydrofuranCompound 1 (20 g) was slurried at reflux in tetrahydrofuran (42 mL) and water (40 mL) in a jacketed reaction vessel with overhead stirring, and remained as a free base slurry. S-camphor sulfonic acid solution (17.25 g in 20 mL of water) was added slowly over approximately 10 minutes, to form a clear yellow solution, which was held at reflux for 30 minutes. Water (135 mL) was then added, over approximately 20 minutes, maintaining reflux. The resulting yellowish slurry was cooled to 10° C. and granulated at this temperature to improve crystallinity and yield for a suitable amount of time. Suitable granulation times can be chosen by one of skill in the art. Typical granulation times can range, for example, from about 1 hour to about 48 hours. Filtered solids were washed with chilled water (20 mL) and dried under vacuum at 50° C. to give the final product.
Example 5: Preparation of an S-Camsylate Salt of Compound 1, S-Camsylate Polymorph Form A, Using Isopropyl AlcoholA solution of Compound 1 (982.5 mg; 3.03 mmol) in isopropyl alcohol (225 mL) was prepared by dissolving the solid in the liquid medium with stirring at ambient conditions (20-25° C.). A solution of S-camphor sulfonic acid (53.81 mg) in a minimum volume of isopropyl alcohol was prepared as above. 17.16 mL of the Compound 1 solution was added slowly to the maleic acid solution with stirring at ambient conditions to provide an equimolar solutions of Compound 1 and S-camphor sulfonic acid. The solution was allowed to stir for 48 hours at ambient conditions; crystallization occurred during that time. Following filtration and washing with isopropyl alcohol, the product was dried under vacuum at 40° C. which provided approximately 75 mg of crystalline material.

The IR spectra were acquired using a ThermoNicolet Nexus FTIR spectrometer equipped with a ‘DurasampIIR’ single reflection ATR accessory (diamond surface on zinc selenide substrate) and d-TGS KBr detector. The spectra were collected at 2 cm−1 resolution and a co-addition of 512 scans. Happ-Genzel apodization was used. Because the FT-IR spectra were recorded using single reflection ATR, no sample preparation was required. Using ATR FT-IR will typically cause the relative intensities of infrared bands to differ from those seen in a transmission FT-IR spectrum using KBr disc or nujol mull sample preparations. Due to the nature of ATR FT-IR, the bands at lower wavenumber are typically more intense than those at higher wavenumber. Experimental error, unless otherwise noted, was ±2 cm−1.
Example 26: Characterization of Salts and Polymorphs of Compound 1 by Fourier Transform-Raman Spectroscopy (FT-Raman)The Raman spectra were collected using a Bruker Vertex70 FT-IR spectrometer with RamII Raman module equipped with a 1064 nm NdYAG laser and LN-Germanium detector. All spectra were recorded using 2 cm−1 resolution and Blackman-Harris 4-term apodization. The laser power was 250 mW and 1024 scans were co-added.
Example 27: Preparation of the Amorphous Form of the S-Camsylate Salt of Compound 1A solution of S-Camsylate polymorph Form A (150 mg) was prepared in tBA:water (50 ml; 60:40%) v/v) at room temperature. The solution was frozen by swirling on dry ice-acetone bath over a 4-5 minute period to obtain a thick frozen layer on the sides of the sample flask. The condenser of the lyophilizer was cooled to −100° C. and vacuum was switched on. Sample flask with frozen solution was quickly attached to the port of a manifold or drying chamber. The vacuum was created by opening the vent to the chamber. The amorphous form of the S-camsylate salt of Compound 1 was isolated after overnight drying at room temperature.
Example 28: Characterization of the Amorphous Form of the S-Camsylate Salt of Compound 1 by Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD)The powder X-ray diffraction pattern was obtained using a Bruker-AXS Ltd. D4 powder X-ray diffractometer fitted with an automatic sample changer, a theta-theta goniometer, automatic beam divergence slit, and a LynxEye detector. The sample was prepared for analysis by mounting on a low background cavity silicon wafer specimen mount. The specimen was rotated while being irradiated with copper K-alpha1 X-rays (wavelength=1.5406 Ångstroms) with the X-ray tube operated at 40 kV/40 mA. The analysis were performed with the goniometer running in continuous mode set for a 0.3 second count per 0.020° step over a two theta range of 3° to 40°. The PXRD diffractogram, as shown in
Approximately 80 mg of sample was tightly packed into a 4 mm ZrO2 rotor. Spectra were collected on a Bruker-Biospin 4 mm BL CPMAS probe positioned into a wide-bore Bruker-Biospin DSX 500 MHz (1H frequency) NMR spectrometer. The packed rotor was oriented at the magic angle and spun at 15.0 kHz. The rotor was cooled with a direct stream of nitrogen having an output temperature of 0° C. The 13C solid state spectrum, as shown in
Raman spectra were collected using a Nicolet NXR FT-Raman accessory attached to the FT-IR bench. The spectrometer was equipped with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser and a liquid nitrogen cooled Germanium detector. Prior to data acquisition, instrument performance and calibration verifications were conducted using polystyrene. Samples were analyzed in glass NMR tubes that were spun during spectral collection. The spectra were collected using 0.5 W of laser power and 100 co-added scans. The collection range was 3700-300 cm−1. All spectra were recorded using 4 cm−1 resolution and Happ-Genzel apodization.
Two separate spectra were recorded for each sample, which were subsequently averaged and intensity normalized prior to peak picking. Peaks were manually identified using the Thermo Nicolet Omnic 7.3a software. Peak position was picked at the peak maximum, and peaks were only identified as such, if there was a slope on each side; shoulders on peaks were not included. The peak position was rounded to the nearest whole number.
